It's time for the City of Moscow and Moscow Recycling/Latah Sanitation, Inc.'s annual Fall leaf collection! Lawn and garden trimmings make up nearly 18% of our nation's garbage, and throwing away leaves, grass clippings, and other materials costs money--money that can be saved by composting. In fact, the City of Moscow and Latah County saved more than $72,750 in 1999 by diverting these materials from the waste stream!
This year's Leaf Collection for
residential garbage collection customersin Moscow runs Oct. 31 through Nov. 4
and Nov. 14 through Nov. 18. Place
your fall leaves and other non-woody lawn and garden trimmings on the curb by
7:00 a.m. the day AFTER your normal garbage collection service, and in the same
place you leave your trash for collection.
Leaves must be left on the curb in either open-top containers (garbage
cans without lids, cardboard boxes, etc.) or biodegradable paper leaf bags. Leaves in tied plastic bags or other
closed containers will not be collected as compost, but will be collected as
trash.
Biodegradable paper leaf bags can be purchased at Moscow Recycling (401 N. Jackson) for $.50 each, 5 for $2 or 10 for $3.50. For more information, please contact Moscow Recycling at 882-0590 or check our website: www.moscowrecycling.com
